I agree with gwern's decision to separate statistical issues from issues which arise even with infinite samples. Statistical issues are also extremely important, and deserve careful study, however we should divide and conquer complicated subjects.
I also agree -- I'm recommending that he make that split clearer to the reader by addressing it up front.
